Description: 
An alphabetical assignment that groups organisms into twelve functional guilds based on Gower dissimilarity in the modalities of all twelve traits. Methods for this clustering are described in Dykman et al. (2021; submitted) and R scripts to run this analysis are provided at https://github.com/ldykman/FD_EPR.
